Reviews for Wayback Machine
Wayback Machine by Internet Archive
Review by Firefox user 16376297
Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 16376297, 6 years agoIt does what it is supposed to do, but also does it WHEN it is NOT supposed to. It is often triggered when my (overloaded) browser takes a bit longer to render a page, which is VERY annoying. What makes it worse, sometimes pages REALLY timeout if the server is down and this extension doesn't react to that. The additional minus point is the lack of any configuration options to, say increase the timeout or completely disable that "feature". Besides that, it would be nice to have it work from the context menu on links so the target pages could be instantly looked up on the Wayback Machine. All being said, I don't have much hope any of this will be fixed as I've seen many people have complained about the same problem and nothing has happened...

- Rated 4 out of 5by DemonKingOdio, a month agoGreat tool to help preserve the internet, but getting it to activate seems needlessly difficult at times
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nijaz, 2 months agoPerfect extension because allows quick viewing if page is already archived before, when, how many times, and allows quickly saving now, and tons of options. Faster and easier than using their site alone.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nicolas LIENART, 7 months agoInternet Archive's Wayback machine is so useful to bypass dead links and make sure web content does not get lost in the future. This add-on makes the process really easy.

- Rated 4 out of 5by dlfkdslf, 10 months agoGreat extension with two quibbles: Sometimes a live page goes immediately to "this page is not available, do you want to see the archived version?" and I need to back out and click again. The other issue is that the "page not available" screen doesn't seem to respect dark mode settings, which can be painfully blinding in a dark room.

- Rated 4 out of 5by tuxsavvy, a year agoConvenient. Though it needs to indicate when there's a delay in registering a snapshot with the Wayback Machine for instance.
